Today I want to talk about the answer of the Lord Himself to the question that arises in any person who begins to understand that in his life there is a purpose from God, there is the plan of the Creator and who wants or tries to realize this plan. Let's turn to the Scripture: so they told him: what should we do to do the work of God? Jesus told them in response: this is the work of God, so that you believe in the one he sent. In. 6: 28-29. I recall my experience with the first priest, to whom I asked a similar question and his answer was approximately the same: more bow, fewer questions. Therefore, I am in a different denomination today, but the question remains and you need to look for an answer to it! We, reasoning humanly, are trying to reduce the service of God to the fulfillment of some “charters”, but the Lord expects more, because the charter can be performed mechanically, and faith requires personal participation, requires the present, turning or turning the soul to the Creator and although it is very Simply, but trying to do this, we find in ourselves what the Bible calls “arrogance” or arrogance and only discovering, recognizing and overcoming arrogance, we gain these relations in which we know that our Lord is an Almighty. Let's turn to the Scriptures again, where it is said about Jesus Christ: this, being the radiance of glory and the image of His hypostasis and holding everything with the word of his strength, committing the purification of our sins, the right of the throne of greatness at the height of Heb was sitting. 1: 3. I identified the thought of the author of the message that Jesus Christ is an Almighty. I will say a simple thought: resources are needed to do any business. And in order to do the greatest work, the work of God, resources must be unlimited. And, of course, only the Almighty God has unlimited resources! Therefore, we need to do God's business to make God's resources. How do we get it? Where is this treasury of God's wisdom, strength, love and any structure? We find the answer again in the Scriptures: God has bestowed to show what the wealth of glory is in the secret of this for the Gentiles, which is Christ in you, the hope of glory stake. 1:27. When we believe that in the appearance of the human body, God himself appeared on this earth, that he, while man, at the same time possessed all the power, strength and wisdom of the deity, we can believe that in our bodies can live His Divine nature! Therefore, it is very useful for us to do what Christians from Corinth AP teach. Pavel: experience yourself, whether you are in faith; Explore yourself. Or do you not know yourself that Jesus Christ is in you? 2 Cor. 13: 5. Here the apostle brings us immediately to the main thought, to the central event of our faith, but in order to come to the understanding that Christ needs to go through several stages in us. Firstly, you need to check in which Christ I believe. Do I believe in God who came in the flesh? Who died in the redemption of my sins, who was resurrected from the dead and living forever and ever? If I believe in this, then the next question: do I believe that he contains everything with the word of his strength right now? This question is a “stumbling block” for all of us when we pass difficult moments in our lives. If he can do everything, and contains everything with the word of his strength, then why did that girl die in the hospital, whose healing after the accident we prayed a couple of weeks ago? This time and whenever something “not fit” into the picture of our idea of ​​God, we again return to the question of what god we believe in. In the one who runs everyone with wisdom and knows for sure that the best, even if in our eyes it does not look like that or in someone who overshadowed something and misfortune happened? We need to deal with these beliefs even if it is difficult for us to recognize in ourselves discontent, disagreement and grief for actions or inaction of God! Through all these events and our experiences, he asks us the question: do we believe that he is love? This is the matter of God, so that you believe in the one he sent. In. 6:29. The work of God is to separate what we ourselves came up with about him from who he is in reality. And while Jesus walked on the ground, not all patients were healed by him, not all hungry are fed and far from all dead are resurrected. And not to every request, he responded with consent! Friends, in our beliefs there is a place for illusions about God that we defend ourselves from the thoughts that scare us. But the way that the Lord teaches us to defeat our fears differently - He gives us the experience of his perfect love, which expels all fear, as it is written: there is no fear in love, but perfect love expels fear, because there is torment in fear. The afraid is imperfect in love. 1 in. 4:18. We are trying to defend ourselves from “terrible” thoughts inventing for ourselves God, who will not allow us to happen to us anything bad, but the true God reveals our love to us and if we learn to accept this love, believe in it, then we can pass any, most severe trials, the most severe trials Save faith and go out in victory. Key point, oh?
